Fresh Pear Waffle Snacks With Honey Nut Cream Cheese
This waffle treat is slightly more grown-up than the other waffles in this list, but that doesn't mean kids won't like it as well. The creamy saltiness of the cream cheese pairs well with the sweetness of the honey and pear, and the whole thing keeps from getting too sweet with an earthy whole-wheat waffle. Looking for a little crunch? In case the pears don't provide enough, you'll get a bit from the walnuts or pecans (and of course the waffle).
